The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is not a car for normal people. For starters, it comes standard with only one seat. Because passenger seats, and passengers, weigh too much and would slow it down. Your friends aren't worth that.
Then there's the engine. The Demon's 840-horsepower 6.2-liter supercharged V8 is the most powerful V8 engine ever put into a regular production car. That makes the Demon the most powerful factory-produced muscle car... ever.
The Demon has already recorded the fastest quarter-mile run by a factory production car ever, as officially certified by the National Hot Rod Association. Starting from a dead stop, a Demon made the drag strip run in just 9.65 seconds.
It also has the fastest zero to 60 time for any production car, according to Dodge, at 2.3 seconds. And the fastest zero to 30 time at 1.3 seconds. All of this leads to it having the most rib-crushing acceleration G-force of any production car. Helping that are the huge buckets of air the engine can suck in through the largest functional hood scoop made for any production car.
Motor Tend magazine has said that the record quickest zero-to-60 run by a factory production car, in its testing, had been by the Tesla Model S P100D. In the hands of Motor Trend test drivers, the Tesla accelerated to 60 miles an hour in 2.28 seconds. (There are various methods for measuring zero to 60 acceleration that can yield different results.)
The Demon is also the first production car able to accelerate so hard it can lift its front wheels off the pavement, a feat that has been certified by the Guinness Book of World Records. The front wheel can stay up in the air for almost three feet.

Lol. Tie his leash to the door handle and away you go!
“It also has the fastest zero to 60 time for any production car, according to Dodge, at 2.3 seconds.”
Wow, does it come with an anti-G-suit in “Octane Red” of course.
Rocket fuel?
I’m not a policeman, but I’ve come onto the scene of a few wrecks in my time and I can attest. The degree to which people can be shredded, eviscerated, pulped in car accidents is horrifying. Makes me wonder how anyone can casually fiddle with their phone while going 80 miles per hour.
Too bad there aren’t stock car races anymore. Just NASCAR entertainment.
Does it have side impact air bags?
She’s a real stump puller!
I have seen too many of these fast turbo charged suicide machines in wrecks.
I now call them suicide by car.
They belong on a track not on the road. There should be a special driving test for these cars just as there is for motorcycles.
I do miss the old injector velocity stacks and the bundle of snakes headers, but this one will do.
Gas mileage? Looks like this car will pass everything but a gas station.
You probably got ‘THAT LOOK’ when you popped that question!
I’ll take one with the tow package, please.
As they say, “If you have to ask, it isn’t for you!”
A radio can weight a couple of pounds? Extra dead weight if your racing...
Lol. Yup.
I was driving and didn’t look over. But yea
Oh yeah!
"Walmart turns up the heat on Amazon with new discounting program"
Walmart, starting April 19, will begin offering a discount on merchandise that customers buy online and have shipped to a Walmart store for pick-up. Walmart’s new Pickup Discount program will initially be available only on about 10,000 items, but will be expanded to more than one million of the chain’s most popular items by the end of June.
Just think how fast your trips to the Wal-Mart grocery store will be in this baby. AND...you'll save so much at Wally Mart with this new discount program that the car will pay for itself. You'll even be home before you left, so the missus won't know you were gone.
Win, win, win, win all the way around!

This is a dragster.
I've driven the Autobahn. The road surfaces are superior to anywhere else I've driven. The rules are simple, stay out of the left lane unless you passing and keep checking your rear view mirror.
Wonder if Hennessey Performance will get one to go against their The Exorcist Camaro?
